Alex Iwobi had made 20 league appearances before Sean Dyche replaced Frank Lampard, but he told the Independent that his 21st game, a win over league leaders Arsenal, was the most he and his Everton team-mates had run, and he was exhausted. after the game.
“I am broken. I stayed at home sane. I can’t move. When I came back, I slumped on my sofa.
“Everyone has to do their job selflessly for the team. That’s something we’ve done and we were able to get a result against Arsenal.
“He’s the best stat of the season, and we’ve set a standard that he has to continue to meet.
“Maybe it’s a change in mindset. Now we know if we can do it, we should be able to do it before.
In 21 league matches, Iwobi has scored once out of a total of 19 goals. He has had five shots on target and has helped the Toffees with five goals.
Everton make the short trip across Merseyside to Anfield on Monday for the 242nd Merseyside derby, needing a result just like Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool side.
Iwobi continued: “Although Liverpool are not very good at the moment and they are not, it is another game where we make a statement, there we can continue again.”
The former Arsenal forward also revealed that he is not ‘confused’ by the change from the central midfield position occupied by Lampard.
“Where I’m fortunate is because I have a different position to adapt to. I’ve played everywhere since I was a child, bar central defender, so no matter what role I’ve been asked to play, I’ve learned and adapted quickly.
“Sometimes I don’t know where I’m going to play even in training. I’m back out of the corner with this manager, but wherever he wants me to play, I’ll try.
“At the end of the day, the team is to get the best result. It doesn’t bother me too much,” he said.
Everton are in 18th place with 18 points from 21 matches, while Liverpool are in 1st place with 29 points from 20 matches.
